Our First Broadblue 435 s2 is under construction and scheduled for launch in a few weeks. The 435 will be shown at the upcoming South Hampton UK Boat Show in September and London Boat Show in January 2011.
The Broadblue 415 model is no longer available but many of the great features of the 415 have been combined into the new 435 such as the large fixed windows in the aft cabins and U shaped saloon seating. Other most popular options have become standard features such as the hardtop bimini, two bow rollers, a newly designed port forward cabin, more storage, private owner’s hull, and more. The pictures show the 435 in construction so visit in late August for pictures of the finished boat.
The master cabin has a new look. The door to the berth has bee removed and enlarged for more visitilibty and ease of access. The entire owner’s hull has a privacy door that closes off the owner’s hull to the saloon. The master berth is a semi-island queen berth with storage drawers under, steps to the left of the berth to ease getting on/off the berth, plus the normal hanging lockers, etc.
A new feature is the addition of a double berth in the port forward cabin. The double berth is located between the bows/hulls and has a large hatch above for lighting and ventilation. In addition, a single berth to the outer hull with lots of storage under. This is a great kids room and room for 3 to sleep. Pictures in late August will be easier to see this great new feature.
The option most in demand is a hardtop bimini and now it is standard. The hardtop has led lighting under, hatch/windows for visibility from the helm to the sails, and places for solar panels (fixed or flexible). The second picture shows the aft hull with the three large fixed windows in the aft cabins, the long and shallow fixed keel, and the fully skegged and protected rudder. Note that the keel and skegg are at the same level making the level and distributing the weight when aground, planned or otherwise, or on the hard.
The last few pictures show the new AC/DC power panel that includes all the various breakers, master GFCI, fuel & water guages, bilge pump controls, navigation lighting, volt/amp meters (DC & AC), and more. All the wiring, second picture, is located behind the panel in the electrial room where one can enter for service. Wiring is clean, organized and well positioned for service and adding new services. Lastly a picture of the galley that comes standard with a solid surface worktop, stainless keel cooled large fridge, and recessed cook top with stove under.
